WHEN YOU MAKE THAT RIGHT TURN AT GRAND MARCHE ROUNDABOUT photos judith roumou

St Maarten adventures is not just about scuba diving and snorkeling. Many who visit St Maarten, like to rent a scooter, all terrain drive or other mode of transportation to get around the island. When venturing in unknown territory, you might get lost :) . Many visitors take a right turn at the Grand Marche Roundabout believing that they're headed to the airport, Marigot or Maho...........They end up in St Peters/South Reward, the school district, surrounded by thousands of students in uniform waiting for the school buses to get home. The students might give you the correct directions to get to your true destination, but they're also known for their pranks, so they just might send you through Marigothill (dead end) as a joke. So always ask an adult directions, to get to your destination safely.

SUNDAY MORNING IN ST MAARTEN, ST PETERS, EMILIO WILSON BUSHROAD, PHILIPSBURG

The best time to get the best photos, is to get up early on a nice day, and most days are nice in St Maarten, then take a stroll with the camera. I began at around eight in the morning in St Peters. Got photos, everyone was on their way to church. I walked down LB Scott Road, and got the blooms along the roadside, and inside some yards. At Emilio Wilson there was a church setting up a Barbeque and picnic. Continued to the ballpark where the Cayhill Tigers were practicing, they've been together over 30 years. Went past the Roundabout at Grand Marche, got some more wild plants. The St Lucians were celebrating on Bushroad, by celebration palace, I'm part Lucian, so I hung around getting pictures. Walk to my cousin Bushman's Ital Shak on Bushroad. They're having a tribute to Haile Selassie event, so I get the data, and a homemade Ginger Beer. I was supposed to head to Great Bay, but I head down Backstreet, cross over to Main street. Then two pals on a mission pick me up. We headed to Honky Tonk on the Boardwalk. Chilled on the beach listening to music, talking yang. Got an unbelievable burger................headed back home.
